About This Home

Ideally located in the gated community of WaterSound Beach, 85 S Founders Lane offers a blend of architectural character and thoughtful design, just a short distance from the Dunesider pool and boardwalks leading to the beach. Spanning more than 4,500 square feet across three levels, this six-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom home is designed with comfort and functionality in mind.

The first level features a secondary living area, three guest suites—including a custom bunk room—and access to a screened porch overlooking a peaceful outdoor setting. On the second floor, an open-concept layout connects the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, enhanced by exposed brick accents, wood beams, and natural light from large windows. A full accordion door opens an entire wall to the wrap-around balcony, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for entertaining. Two additional guest suites complete the second floor.

The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite, which includes a spacious bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. A private rooftop terrace offers additional outdoor living space with expansive views. Additional features include hardwood flooring throughout, designer fixtures, and a layout well-suited for hosting and gathering.
